The garden furniture is nice. I really like the planted stone troughs in the background, even though it looks like they haven’t found their final place yet.

When I read your post again, I just thought you might mean the two round troughs in front of the stairs? 🙂

If so, they are currently placed there as a fall protection in front of the stairs because of the kids. Later, they are supposed to be by the support of the canopy, near the swing.

Here’s a proof photo from my after-work walk, just for you. It’s still standing:

I didn’t catch that, what exactly is this?

I missed it, what exactly is that please?

It’s a fairly large light sculpture made of polished, movable stainless steel panels, located on a hill east of the village. From the afternoon onwards, it reflects and "flashes" wildly across the landscape:

Doesn’t that cause confusion, similar to glazed roof tiles?

Who owns it? Is it considered art or a tourist attraction?
I find it quite interesting... 🙂

That is actually art by Timm Ulrichs. There is nothing irritating about it – it is simply beautiful 🙂

Bamboo at my brother’s place, the invasive type. Although he installed root barriers underground, I was shocked when I saw these pictures. He trims it back about 1.5 m (5 feet) each year up to the top of the fence and thins it out every 3 to 4 years. There are 7 plants along 6 m (20 feet), planted in 2011. These photos are from this year.
